Serving Food at Winter Shelter

Save to Favorites

We need people who want to serve the homeless to help us serve food for 100+ homeless men and women at the Winter Weather Shelter downtown. This year, the Northside Homeless Alliance (which we are a part of) has taken the responsibility of organizing all of the food for this shelter which opened November 15 th and runs until March 15 th. One of the things that we are trying to really do is change the culture of the shelter and the way food is served. In years past, men and women stood in long lines and had to eat their dinner on the ground. This year we have acquired tables and are having volunteers serve the men and women directly at tables. So far, the results have been staggering! People’s attitudes are changing, just because of how the food is served! We are working tirelessly to find groups to serve the meals, and have had pretty good success.
